Do You React to Themselves?

Taoism is the one that I've focused on the least about. The idea being there's no way to know what the future holds. Fighting against it by trying to anticipate every little thing and change your course of action goes against the Dow. To me that part gives me some anxiety like am I doing this with the Dow? Or is this just a personal desire that I'm going against the grain on and is that going to kill me early?
